Configurations of Europe
2006
This book has sought to gender men in Europe by drawing on various sources of information and in relation to key themes and policy arenas. In this final chapter, we consider some broad issues concerning the position and impact of men in the context of changing configurations of Europe, including, but not only, in relation to the EU. There are many ways in which the more explicit gendering of men raises new sets of questions about the EU and the changing definitions of ‘Europe’.
La esterilización forzada en intersecciones distintas : un enfoque estructural para el análisis de las desigualdades complejas | Forced sterilization…
2019
Resumen: El artículo propone profundizar un enfoque de la interseccionalidad poco desarrollado dentro de los estudios jurídicos: la interseccionalidad estructural. A través del análisis de dos casos de esterilización forzosa del TEDH, referidos a dos grupos interseccionales distintos (mujeres gitanas y mujeres con discapacidad), la contribución tiene como fin subrayar el interés que conlleva la investigación sobre las dinámicas de poder en los casos de desigualdad compleja. En ambos casos emergen algunos elementos críticos comunes a la configuración del derecho y de su interpretación a la hora de enfrentarse al solapamiento de múltiples categorias de discriminación.

El constitucionalismo democrático y social : orígenes y características distintivas
2020
The paper aims to reconstruct the doctrinal evolution of the juridical thought in the transition from liberal constitutionalism - identifiable with the nineteenth-century theories of the "rule of law" - to democratic-social constitutionalism that inspires and shapes the "Welfare State". In short, democratic-social constitutionalism can be viewed as the fundamental core of the social pact through which the European and Western civilisation manages to provide a democratic alternative to the disintegration of the liberal states. The main features of the new constitutionalism will be analyzed by focusing on what, in our opinion, can be considered its main “pillars”.

Análisis de la ley de protección a la maternidad desde la perspectiva de género
2010
La Ley 6/2009 de 20 de junio de la Generalitat de Protección a la Maternidad representa un retroceso en el avance hacia la plena igualdad en ambos sexos, y reproduce cuantos estereotipos de género existen alrededor del nacimiento y crianza de las/os hijas/os. No es sencilla la tarea de elaborar propuestas y políticas sociales exentas de estos rasgos, debido a la base cultural que representan, pero no por ello, se deben de dejar pasar por alto. El análisis de dicha ley, desarrollado a continuación, se realiza con perspectiva de género y desde el trabajo social, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades de las familias y los recursos existentes. The Law 6 / 2009 of June 20 published by the Generalit…
